Lizzie Haroldsen and Grace Houghton are the editors of a proposed collection of autobiographical, memoir type reflections by queer students about their experiences in higher education. 

Lizzie and Grace both participated in the Denver Publishing Institute hosted by the University of Denver last summer which is where they hatched this project.  They have a literary agent and have interested publishers, so this is a great opportunity for folks to get their stories out there. 

Lizzie and Grace are still looking for contributors to this volume and would love to receive drafts of student stories.  They are NOT looking for research papers or fictional writing. 

Please share this email with students (undergrad or grad (or recent alum), and have anyone interested please contact Lizzie and Grace at:  outoftheclosetsubmissions@gmail.com
